One Pan Super Quick Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash
A go-to dinner for those nights when you are exhausted and want something quick, gut-friendly, and satisfying.
Ingredients (serves 1–2):
-
1 chicken breast, thinly sliced
-
1 small sweet potato, diced small
-
1 head of broccoli, chopped
-
1 handful spinach or other greens
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
½ tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
-
1–2 tsp basil pesto (store-bought)
-
Optional: squeeze of lemon
Method:
-
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
-
Add chicken slices and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly golden.
-
Toss in diced sweet potato, garlic, and turmeric. Sauté for 8–10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato is tender.
-
Stir in broccoli halfway through cooking, and spinach for the last 1–2 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and stir in pesto. Finish with a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Quick Tips for Even Faster Dinners:
-
Use pre-chopped veggies to save 5+ minutes.
-
Thinly slice chicken so it cooks quickly.
-
Instead of sweet potato, you can serve with pre-cooked grains or a microwavable rice cup to save time!
- Keep a jar of pesto in the fridge as it adds instant flavour with zero extra cooking and a little boost of plant diversity too!

THE GUT FRIENDLY FIBRE GUIDE
An evidence-based guide for women to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse
If eating more fibre has ever left you feeling worse, fibre probably wasn’t the problem. More likely, your gut just needed you to go slower.Â
This guide is based on the approach I use with women who want to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse. We start with where you are now, then build from there slowly enough that your gut can keep up.
It’s food-first, weight-neutral and evidence-based, created by me and my team of Accredited Practising Dietitians.
